If the winter blahs hang on in your household,
laugh them away with tickets to Unnecessary Farce at Act II Playhousethrough March 22. This evening of slapstick involves side-by-side motel rooms
and an ever-present confusion as to who is where and why. The Syracuse Post-Standard
theater critic calls it "The funniest two hours of theater I have seen in
several years."

Local superstar Bobby Rydell takes the stage at
Sunnybrook BallroomMarch 28. Rydell has been a superstar on the music scene
since the early 1960s, when he became the youngest performer to headline at the
New York nightclub The Copacabana. A film career followed, including a lead
role in the 1964 film version of Bye Bye Birdie. Rydell's smooth style
brings thoughts of warmer weather, especially with his hit "Wildwood Days."

The Wharton Esherick Museum re-opens after its
winter hibernation, welcoming visitors beginning in March. The whimsical home
of craftsman Wharton Esherick is tucked in the woods near Valley Forge National
Historical Park, and visitors can fully explore both his fanciful designs and
his engineering ingenuity. The spiral staircase alone is reason to visit; its
spiral shape comes from the fact that it is an actual mastodon tusk.
